Sander,
I received the MG995 yesterday. After plug it in my receiver, I noticed that the servo was overshooting. Then I run to the web to find some review for this servo, and found yours. You review seems to be very complete (as impressions ) and I agree with everything. I did not have the chance to mount in my airplane yet, but I will do in the weekend.
For me, this servo is good for the budget, but it's not acceptable a servo that has overshoot. This overshoot is so big that you can see without put in the airplane. If you look to the servo arm you can see. When you link it to any surface, your will multiply by 5x this effect.
I wont recomend this servo for any serious application too. For me, I would only use in some car or a big foot steering. (due to the overshoot)
5. the servo-amp is not well matched to the motor/geartrain/feedback pot. In essence, this mismatch manifests itself as significant overshoot when the servo is repositioning. This is to say that if you command the servo to move clockwise to a position, it will actually move past that position (by 3 degrees or so) then move back to the correct position.
does anybody know what he means by overshooting? is it the angle of horn movement that he is referring to? thanks. |
